I can not give any guarantees that the application will work properly. You should never rely on the correctness of the application and always check the website if the file has any importance.
Due to limitation of specific websites, it's not always possible to update files.
See this for a complete list, on which modules support updates
Files which won't get normally updated can still be updated by enabling force download.
If a websites require a vpn, the application will not be able to access this website, unless you enable your vpn.
You can upload your templates via a push request and add them to the existing presets so other people can use them.
